Whitney Houston: How Dolly Parton Song Landed on The Bodyguard Soundtrack | CMT Whitney Houston: How Dolly Parton Song Landed on The Bodyguard Soundtrack Co-Star and Producer Kevin Costner Insisted on Inclusion of "I Will Always Love You" by CMT.com Staff 2/12/2012 Dolly Parton was listening to her car radio the first time she heard Whitney Houston ‘s version of “I Will Always Love You,” a song actor and film producer Kevin Costner insisted she record for the 1992 film, The Bodyguard. “They started out with it a cappella,” Parton said in 2011 when the bittersweet ballad grabbed the peak position on the CMT 40 Greatest Love Songs special. “And I thought, ‘That sounds familiar. … And it didn’t hit me. It was just one of those things where [you think], ‘What is that?’ And, then all the sudden, when she started singing, ‘I will always love you,’ I just about wrecked the car.” Parton’s country hit became a signature song for Houston, who died Saturday (Feb.

11) in Los Angeles at age 48. Houston’s dramatic rendition of “I Will Always Love You” sold more than 4 million singles and won two Grammys. The Bodyguard soundtrack sold 17 million copies. Parton wrote the song while attempting to make a break from her role on Porter Wagoner ‘s syndicated television show. Even though she was determined to move on, Parton especially wanted to convey a message of gratitude in the song. “It’s saying, ‘Just because I’m going don’t mean I won’t love you. I appreciate you and I hope you do great and I appreciate everything you’ve done, but I’m out of here,'” she explained in the Love Songs interview. “[That’s] basically what I was saying. And I took it in the next morning. I said, ‘Sit down, Porter. I’ve written this song, and I want you to hear it.’ So I did sing it. And he was crying. He said, ‘That’s the prettiest song I ever heard. And you can go, providing I get to produce that record.’ And he did.” Parton’s original recording reached No.

1 on Billboard‘s country songs chart in 1974. The song topped the chart again in 1982 when she re-recorded it for the film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. It became a hit yet again when Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard, a film Costner produced and co-starred in. “Kevin Costner and his secretary are the ones that loved the song,” Parton said. “They had another song that was going to go in that place, and someone had recorded the song they were going to use. They were just in a panic at the last minute. And so they asked me about the song. I sent it. I didn’t hear anything more.” In a 2008 interview with CMT.com, Costner said he didn’t detect any great enthusiasm when he insisted that Houston sing Parton’s composition. Among those responding were Arista Records chief Clive Davis and the other executives from Houston’s label. “When I said to Whitney, ‘You’re gonna sing “I Will Always Love You,”‘ the ground shook,” Costner said.

“Clive Davis and those guys were going, ‘What?!’ “I said, ‘This is a very important song in this movie.’ I didn’t care if it was ever on the radio. I didn’t care. I said, ‘We’re also going to do this a cappella at the beginning. I need it to be a cappella because it shows a measure of how much she digs this guy — that she sings without music.'” Parton has always praised Houston’s version of the song, noting, “I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance.” She has also expressed her gratitude to Costner for including the song in The Bodyguard. “She said something to me off the record, so I won’t ever repeat it, but it was so beautiful, and it was so Dolly,” Costner said. “It was generous and it was funny — everything that she is — but it was a big thank you.

It was a big, fat thank you.” Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - The Bodyguard - 1992 El Guardaespaldas - Love Song - YouTube Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - The Bodyguard - 1992 El Guardaespaldas - Love Song Want to watch this again later?

"I Will Always Love You" Track Info Dolly Parton: 'Whitney, I Will Always Love You' | Billboard Dolly Parton: 'Whitney, I Will Always Love You' COMMENTS Dolly Parton: 'Whitney, I Will Always Love You' Country music legend Dolly Parton, who wrote what is widely regarded as Whitney Houston's best song, "I Will Always Love You," has joined the chorus of grieving stars on Saturday upon hearing the tragic news of the singer's death. "Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston," Parton says in a statement to Billboard.

"I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'" Houston had 11 number 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 throughout her stunning career, but none had a bigger impact than Parton's soaring ballad. "I Will Always Love You" topped the chart for 14 weeks in 1992 and remains her most beloved performance. Remembering Whitney • Clive Davis on Whitney (.Biz) It also won her a Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance Grammy in 1994. Parton released the song as her own single in 1974 and it did fairly well, topping the country songs chart. It was re-released in 1982 and reached the Hot 100. Linda Ronstadt also covered it. Houston's version came on the soundtrack for the 1992 film "The Bodyguard," co-starring the singer and Kevin Costner. Houston's death at age 48 was announced on Saturday evening.

Publicist Kristen Foster said that the singer had died, but the cause of her death is unknown.

Credit: James Devaney/WireImage/Getty Images Country music legend Dolly Parton said she was "shattered" when she heard Whitney Houston 's version of her song, "I Will Always Love You," played at her funeral, but felt the song has "connected" them. "[It] just shattered me to hear that song played under those conditions," Parton in an interview today with " Nightline ." "I thought my heart was gonna stop. It just pierced me like a knife. It's just- I can't explain that feeling, to think that that was so final for her, and that that was my words and my feeling- I would forever be so connected to her." "I Will Always Love You," which Parton originally wrote in 1972, has long been a chart-topping hit. It became a No.

1 hit on the country music charts after its release in 1974. Decades later, actor Kevin Costner brought it to composer David Foster , who rearranged the song as a pop music ballad for Houston, who recorded it for the 1992 film, "The Bodyguard." The film was a blockbuster, and the song enjoyed 14 weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot 100. It became the anthem of Houston's career . Parton said she didn't know how Foster had rearranged her song until she heard it on the radio months later while driving in her car. "All of a sudden I hear this- this a capella sound, I just hear this, 'If I should stay,' and it didn't register, and I thought, 'what is that?'" Parton said. "And just still just kind of- 'That's my song,' but it still didn't register it was Whitney, because it was just this solo voice, and then all of a sudden it went into the 'I will always love you,' and I thought I was gonna wreck. It just overwhelmed me." The day after Houston's death on Feb. 11, "I Will Always Love You" was No.

1 on Billboard's music charts and was the No. 1 downloaded song on Apple's iTunes. Houston's 2000 album, "Whitney: The Greatest Hits," which includes the song, became the leading album, knocking Adele's Grammy-winning "21? from the top slot. Singer Jennifer Hudson's stirring tribute performance at the 2012 Grammys and the TV show "Glee's" rendition of "I Will Always Love You," also helped the song make a resurgence. That has reportedly meant big bucks for Parton, who still owns writer and publisher rates from sales to the song. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Parton has pocketed $70,000 from sales of the "I Will Always Love You" single alone. "I really owe a great debt to Kevin Costner and to Whitney Houston and to David Foster," Parton said. "I really feel like that song belongs to all of us… I thought God was looking out for me, that it was meant to be, because how lucky was I that that got to be such a huge song.

" Parton told "Nightline" she wrote the song in 1972 for her late duet and business partner Porter Wagoner while they were arguing about her leaving his syndicated television show to pursue a solo career. At the time, Parton was already a successful country music star, with a couple of number-one songs. She later re-recorded "I Will Always Love You" for the 1982 film, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Burt Reynolds. "When Whitney did 'I Will Always Love You,' I mean look what a grand song she made out of that simple, heartfelt, you know, song…it was just amazing," Parton said. "Whitney is the one who took it worldwide and really made it a household word - or song, I should say - so I'll always be thankful to her for that." Parton's latest project is "An Evening With… Dolly Live," a two-disc DVD and CD set, now available at Cracker Barrel Old Country stores and on their website .

Country singer Dolly Parton wrote Whitney Houston's biggest hit I Will Always Love You Photo: Rex Features By Helen Brown 3:56PM GMT 16 Feb 2012 Snuggling deep into Kevin Costner’s shoulder on the dancefloor of a no frills American bar, Whitney Houston tunes in to the country and western tune coming from the jukebox. “It’s a kinda cowboy song, huh?” she teases. Costner gazes down at the beautiful soul singer in his arms and laughs, acknowledging his taste in old fashioned music and values.

And she ploughs on: “I mean, it’s so depressing. Have you listened to the words? It’s one o’ those somebody’s-always-leaving-somebody songs.” The scene is, of course, from Houston’s 1992 movie debut, “The Bodyguard” in which Houston essentially played herself and Costner (then at the height of his Hollywood hunk cachet) played the deadly, deadpan former CIA man hired to protect her from a psychopathic stalker. (The film was originally proposed for Steve McQueen and Diana Ross in 1976, but fell through when McQueen had a diva fit of his own and refused to be billed second to Ross). And the song is, of course, “I Will Always Love You”. Houston’s powerful version of it not only gave emotional wings to an otherwise laughably leaden movie – it also sent her career soaring, spending ten weeks at Number One in the UK and fourteen weeks at the top of the American charts, selling a whopping 12 million copies around the world. Following Houston's tragic death in a Beverley HIlls hotel room, it is now back in the charts and heading for number one.

The Bodyguard Soundtrack – featuring six songs sung by Houston, including “I Have Nothing” -- sold 42 million copies worldwide, making it the world’s best selling soundtrack of all time. 'I Will Always Love You’ became Houston’s signature song, marking her transformation from the technically gifted but emotionally lightweight girl who just wanted to dance with somebody to fully fledged diva. The song was written by another great singer with Hollywood aspirations, Dolly Parton, who is now set to earn millions of dollars from sales of the song , as fans rush to buy it in memory of their idol. It’s no coincidence that Houston used the song in a film about romantic tension in a professional relationship. For when Parton penned her “bitter sweet” country ballad back in 1973, she wasn’t writing about the break up of a romantic relationship, but about the end of a professional one. The buxom blonde from Tennessee had gotten her big break as “the girl singer” on the Porter Wagoner Show in 1967.

Related Articles Whitney Houston dies at 48 12 Feb 2012 But the song writin’, gun totin’ gal from the mountains didn’t plan on spending her life as anybody’s lovely assistant and, as she later told the press, Wagoner was “very much was a male-chauvinist pig. That’s why we fought like crazy, because I wouldn’t put up with a bunch of stuff.” When Parton decided to leave the show and strike out alone, she wrote the song as a kindly farewell to her old mentor and duetting partner, wishing him joy and happiness in his future career. But the good will wasn’t reciprocated and Wagoner sued her for breach of contract. This history is perhaps what gives the song its rare mood of nobility. Songs about the end of relationships are traditionally sung with an agenda.

The singer often regrets bad behaviour that’s caused a break up and seeks reconciliation by promising reformation (as in The Jackson Five’s 'I want You Back’); or threatening suicide (The Police’s 'Can’t Stand Losing You’); or wants a cheating lover to know how empowered they feel now the relationship has ended (Gloria Gaynor’s 'I Will Survive’); or wants to vent a little spleen (Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice” or Justin Timberlake’s 'Cry Me a River’). But the singer of 'I Will Always Love You’ is thinking about the lover – the singee, if you like – who’s been left for his own good. Although the singer acknowledges she will always love him, she also acknowledges she’s not what he needs. And so departs taking only her memories and promising she will think of him every step of the way. So it’s a brave song. Parton released the single three times and had a minor hit with it in 1982 when she usesd it on the soundtrack to The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Her various co-recordings of the song are all moving evocations of the ending of a complex relationship.

But in each, she sounds like a woman resigned to her decision and already driving away. So does Linda Ronstadt in her version. John Doe (whose 1990 recording is the one the Houston and Costner dance to in The Bodyguard) sounds, likewise, like a man who’s closed the door. But when Whitney took the country song into soul ballad territory – lifting it tenderly over the racial borderlines of popular music the way Costner’s character lifted hers across the screaming mob in the movie – she injected it with a whole new level of drama and tension. She nails us from the start with a raw and vulnerable a capella opening (for which Costner and Houston had to fight studio and record label bosses) “If I should stay, I would only be in your way…” Her soft, regretful vocal stays unaccompanied for a bold 46 seconds, and it achieves in under a minute what the film fails to manage in nearly two hours – it strips away the layers of celebrity fakery to reveal the vulnerable woman beneath. With this achieved, an acoustic guitar wraps its warm simple strings around her. And from there the song just builds and builds.

With each step Houston takes away from the lover in the song, she has to screw up all her courage again, and harder. A keyboard joins her and then, at one minute 20 seconds, a drum beat for pace. She’s left the room now and she’s walking. Thirty seconds later, she’s upped the volume and that famous 'Whitney warble’ on a note has a little, almost playful flutter before the saxophone solo. And while Houston does allow her technical ability to dance around the basic melody, she holds key notes steady just long enough to ensure they matter, and then some. Her vocal ornamentations sounds, in this context, like resolve wavering and adds to the drama. After she sings “But most of all, I wish you love” there’s a three and a half second pause. It sounds like she’s lost her resolve, she might turn back! The tension is almost unbearable. And then that decisive drum beat strikes and she powers back in with the final, triumphal chorus. No wonder so many contestants on shows like Pop Idol and X Factor think this is the song to wow the judges.

It’s a song which pleads its own modesty, nobility and vulnerability and is thus guaranteed to win audience empathy. How could we not feel for the little girl alone on that big stage, singing unaccompanied to the nation? And then it builds and builds into a huge statement of strength and courage against the odds allowing the contestant to showcase their technical skills. Done right, it can make the audience feel that they willed it to happen this way, that their support enabled a fragile wannabe to soar so high. Leona Lewis’ nailed it in 2006. It’s worked its magic for Lucie Jones. But as Simon Cowell always cautions: “Are you sure you wanna do that song? It’s one of the hardest songs in the world to sing.” Houston set the bar so high. Even before her death, her rendition of this song guaranteed that we would always love her. Parton, with her characteristic acuity, nailed this feeling when she spoke after her friend's death. "Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston.

I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'" * A version of this article was first published in the Daily Telegraph's Review supplement on 10 October 2009 Why 'I Will Always Love You' Is Whitney Houston's Ultimate Song (Analysis) | Hollywood Reporter 1:41pm PT by Joe Levy Why 'I Will Always Love You' Is Whitney Houston's Ultimate Song (Analysis) David Corio/Getty Images "The Bodyguard" was a hit movie that spawned a 17 million-selling soundtrack and a single that, as a veteran music journalist argues, was the pop icon's finest moment. This story first appeared in the Feb. 24 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" -- a cover of a Dolly Parton single from 1974 -- was released on Nov. 3, 1992. It debuted at No. 40 the Billboard Hot 100 and took two weeks to hit No.

1, where it stayed for 14 weeks, a record at the time. As we all remember, it came from The Bodyguard soundtrack, a messy sales powerhouse that was front-loaded with six Whitney tracks (including her "I'm Every Woman" cover and the gospel number "Jesus Loves Me") and then swiftly slid into Kenny G territory. What we might not remember is that the soundtrack went on to sell 17 million copies and break SoundScan's record for single-week sales. Twice. (First it shattered the mark held by Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion II; seven days later, it became the first album to sell more than a million in a week.) Oh, and The Bodyguard earned a Grammy for album of the year, and "I Will Always Love You" won record of the year as well as best female pop vocal. PHOTOS: Iconic Singer Whitney Houston's Life and Career in Pictures "I Will Always Love You" is Whitney's greatest moment and one of the greatest moments in American pop.

It was bravura, sentimental and subject, as many of her recordings were, to bland studio touches that sound frustratingly disengaged (in this case, a sax solo you'd rarely hear outside of a dentist's office). Yet it also was monumental, undeniable and, as many of her recordings were, a triumph of vocal ability that presents itself as human indomitability. The caesura just before the drum beat, and she takes off for that impossible note? It's a moonshot, and we get to be strapped into the rocket and take the ride with her. And that she laces everything up to that point with a tangle of vulnerability and joy makes it even more amazing, like she's painting five or six different pictures before deciding, screw it, let's just go Technicolor! 3D!! We'll need a bigger theater!!! Still, 17 million copies or not, 1992 is not remembered as Whitney Houston's year. It's remembered as the time of Nirvana and Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Part of the reason could be that The Bodyguard soundtrack was her last album -- if you think of it as a Whitney album -- for six years.

(She married Bobby Brown in July 1992; their daughter was born the following March.) But a bigger reason is that the menacing anomie of Nirvana and Dre fit the narrative a lot better than Whitney wishing us joy and love. It was the year of the L.A. riots, after all. Music of alienation and instability seemed to capture a moment when everything was cleaved apart. And though now it's clear that the music of Nirvana and Dre appealed to a mass pop audience -- in fact, to each other's audiences -- then the myth that this music was directed at separate audiences was hard to shake. STORY: Whitney Houston's Death: 10 Developments It's also a myth that "I Will Always Love You" takes aim at and obliterates. Even if you never knew this was a country cover, it still crosswires genres and audiences and upends the notion that black and white music (and audiences) don't talk directly to each other. Whitney had planned on covering Jimmy Ruffin's 1966 Motown hit "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" until she heard it was being used on the Fried Green Tomatoes soundtrack.

It was Bodyguard co-star Kevin Costner who brought in Linda Ronstadt's version of "I Will Always Love You." The doomed romance of the lyric, and the way it's at pains to find good wishes in sadness, fit the interracial Romeo-and-Juliet love story of the film much better. Whitney copped Ronstadt's arrangement -- Parton's original is actually much closer to a classic soul ballad -- and her power note at the end. But her vocal takes Parton's high-lonesome pain as a jumping-off point and goes wild from there, rounding through operatic technique, blue yodels and gospel before climaxing in pure Elvis-in-Vegas glory. It's almost like a historical tour of American singing -- or America itself. VIDEO: Reactions To Houston's Death As with so much pop music, it's an enactment of American potential, an expression of an ideal of unity that is usually nothing more than that: an ideal. Except for the time it takes to listen to one song or to dance to another. Then it's an ideal in action.

Not for nothing was the other song consistently mentioned in the hours after Whitney's passing her recording of "The Star-Spangled Banner" from the 1991 Super Bowl, an African-American reclamation of the national anthem less audacious than Jimi Hendrix's or Marvin Gaye's but no less powerful. A final thought: It's striking how many Whitney songs are, like "I Will Always Love You," songs of heartbreak. I mentioned this to someone in passing and was immediately corrected -- what about the uptempo pop hits? What about, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"? Or "How Will I Know"? But even those are searches for love -- she's not actually dancing with somebody who loves her right then; she isn't with someone who she knows is the one. Of course, that's not how these songs come across. What we remember isn't that the singer is having an affair with a married man in "Saving All My Love for You." What we remember is making love the whole night through. That's worth remembering now: how Whitney could turn every lyric, every song, into an expression of jubilation. It's a gospel singer's touch, and it's the one she left us with.

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - 1992 Playlist: Pause Some trivia about Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - 1992 "I Will Always Love You" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton in 1973, who first released the song as a single in 1974. American singer Whitney Houston's 1992 version of the song is one of the fewer than thirty all-time singles to have sold 12 million (or more) copies worldwide. In 1992, singer Whitney Houston recorded the song for the soundtrack to The Bodyguard, her film debut. Houston was originally to record Jimmy Ruffin's "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" as the lead single from The Bodyguard.

However, when it was discovered the song was to be used for Fried Green Tomatoes, Houston requested a different song and her co-star Kevin Costner brought her Linda Ronstadt's 1975 version of "I Will Always Love You" from her album Prisoner in Disguise. Houston and producer David Foster re-arranged the song as a soul ballad. Her record company did not feel a song with an a cappella introduction would be as successful; however, Houston and Costner insisted on retaining the a cappella intro. The tenor saxophone solo was played by Kirk Whalum. Whitney Houston's recording is not the only version of the song featured in the movie. In a scene where she dances with Kevin Costner, a version by John Doe can be heard playing on a jukebox. Houston's version was a massive worldwide success, selling over 12 million copies worldwide.

It became a regular on countdown lists: appearing at number eight on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the Past 25 Years"; number four on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s" and number one on VH1's "100 Greatest Love Songs." The song also lists at number sixty-eight on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time." [1] Play time: 6:05 FACEBOOK - CLICK HERE to see our top picks of the day on our music group on Facebook!

Dolly Parton Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston: 'I Will Always Love You' Dolly Parton Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston: 'I Will Always Love You' Brent Lang Pin it Share Dolly Parton paid tribute to Whitney Houston, the deceased pop diva who catapulted her song “I Will Always Love You” to a global phenomenon, by citing the ballad they both made famous. “Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston,” Parton said in a statement Saturday. “I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, ‘Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'” Houston died Saturday at the age of 48. The singer had a well-chronicled struggle with substance abuse and drugs.

The country star's version rose to first place on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and was later re-recorded for the soundtrack of her film “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” However, it took Houston to make the ballad a true crossover hit. The song was featured prominently in the 1992 film “The Bodyguard,” which marked Houston's film debut. It would break records to spend 14 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, and would become perhaps Houston's best known torch song.
